Perfect Place For Large Groups!
We had three families totaling 14 people. This place was ideal! Plenty of bedrooms and beds for the adults and kids to pick. Plenty of bathrooms so no waiting! Plenty of space! Spent lots of time on the porch. Kids spent lots of time in the river! The whole place is homey and comfortable with everything you could need! With seven boys and a teenage girl it can be challenging to meet everyone's needs - this place nailed it! Hope to come back again.

Large property with fun amenities for all
We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge! More than enough space for our family to spread out, and we enjoyed preparing meals in the large kitchen, soaking in the hot tub, playing jenga and dipping our toes in the shallow river.

Was not pleased with the sewer smell
The location was very beautiful and we all had a great time catching the crayfish and releasing them. The house was definitely spacious enough for all the age groups we had. However, we were not pleased with the sewer smell that we had to deal with in two of the bedrooms we were using. I called to inform the office of this issue and the maintenance man came with a can of Febreeze and sprayed that and left and nothing more was said or done the rest of our stay. For the $7000.00 I paid I was not at all impressed by the actions to resolve this manner. Upon checking out I called the office to let them know we were departing and the lady that answered the phone was very pleasant(not the same person I dealt with previously to report the sewage smell) she informed me that this same issue happend last year to someone. She also stated she doesn't agree with some of the practices at this property! Perhaps instead of masking the problem with the septic, the owners fix it. This is not at all acceptable or sanitary. I was not offered a refund for anything and I feel this is unfair. This was a family vacation we took our children and grandchildren on to make memories...we do this only once every other year. Despite the septic issue we made sure we left the house in a very clean condition, perhaps cleaner than when we arrived. I would hope that some things improve here to ensure a much better experience for future renters. We have rentals of our own and would be on this asap!

Great place for a group
We had a great stay with extended family. Everyone had space to spread out when we need and a big porch, family room and dinner table to come together as a group. The lodge was clean, well stocked and comfortable for all of us. Cara was very responsive to questions. There is a park next door that gets a good amount of traffic during the day.

Magical winter wonderland
Imagine pulling up to the house, snow lightly falling. You open the door and the first vision of the interior of the house is soft lights highlighting the big open living space, kitchen and dining room. Our stay at Rapid River Lodge was filled with moments of "is this real?". We had a group of 11, ranging in age from 3 to 48. We had so much space to spread out. Plenty of rooms/beds/linens/towels. We had no problem preparing the food we brought with all that was supplied at Rapid River Lodge. They have so much on hand to prepare for large groups. The sleeping arrangements were wonderful! They had beds for babies, bed gates for our 3 year old, and plenty of sleeping space for our kids to choose from. My husband and I slept in the king bed, which has a mattress that is so comfortable. We slept great! Our sons slept in the room with the best view, along the river, and enjoyed waking up to the gorgeous winter view of the river. The first night it was snowing when we arrived, though it wasn't snowing just 15 miles away. The kids loved the magic of sitting in the hot tub watching the snow fall on a long winter's night. The next day we explored the yard, walked to the bridge, and took a short hike along some trails. Again, it was a winter wonderland. The property is a hidden gem of peaceful tranquility. Quiet, though not far from a main road. This property pays attention to details! We had so many options for playing games, putting puzzles together, enjoying time talking as a family, and watching the river. Our 3 year old loved the movies they had on hand to watch in the main area. As a former housekeeper for a bed and breakfast, I noticed how clean each space is. They pay attention to cleanliness which keeps the property looking amazing. My kids favorite part was how open the lodge is and how fun it was to explore all the different areas...the ultimate hide and go seek space. Before the first day was over, my kids were asking if we could come back next year! We didn't use much technology, yet the kids thought this was one of their favorite winter vacations. When we did need it, the wi-fi worked great and the landline phone was wonderful to stay connected with my elderly mother while we were away. We pretty much stayed on the property for the two days we were here. My kids said three or four days here would have been perfect. Thank you Rapid River Lodge for offering a space to give families a beautiful winter retreat!

“Grandma, I LOVE this place!”
…so said my 2.5 year-old grandson, and my immediate and extended family totally agreed. The lodge is spacious, welcoming and clean. There were plenty of bedrooms to accommodate our group of 10 adults and 5 kids. Dinners at the great table where all had a seat were delightful. The setting with the shallow river in front and the park on the side was perfect. All enjoyed the hot tub at night viewing the stars. We had a magical time with lots of pics to prove it.

All the room you need for a big group of people.
We had 5 familys that included kids of all ages and had enough sleeping space and the entertainment room was incredible. This lodge was a awesome open floor plan to entertain one another with the outdoor space added for the entertainment. The best thing was the river flowing right out the back deck. The huge hot tub was a favorite on the side deck while listening to the river rushing across the rocks. The kitchen had everthing and anything to supply your needs of utensils, pans, bowls, salad bowls, silverware and way too much to list. Having the 2 fridges there was awesome due to how much food we had there. The kids had so much to do in the lodge to keep them entertained and the room to play. The lodge was really clean especially for how big it is. This lodge is amazing and will definitely be a happy returning customer. Highly recommended for big groups. Thanks for everything and giving us this experience at the Rapid River Lodge.

Wonderful hidden gem
We found this property when we expanded our search outside of the Munising area and boy are we glad we did! This property is everything that you would hope for and more in a rental. It was a beautiful house in a fantastic location directly on the river. The hot tub was a nice touch. We had everything we needed and more and look forward to vacations here in the future. Thanks so much for everything!

Very nice place for a gathering
This place more than exceeded our expectations of the entire group. Upon arrival it was very clean and well organized. There is more than enough space to house a large group and yet still not be on top of one another. The game room and park next door provided tons of fun for the smaller kids and the surrounding view is spectacular. Cant wait to give it a try in the summer.

Stayed with my large family, including two handicapped children. Our experience was GREAT. One hiccup with the security code for the front door, but the owner took care of it within minutes. Cleaning crew jump started our vehicle for us when we accidentally drained our battery. Bonus points! Already recommended to other families and definitely will return!

We had a great time on vacation with all (most of) the children and grandchildren. The lodge was spacious and comfortable, well furnished, well kept, Beautiful! The bedrooms are big and surprisingly soundproof. With so many little ones in one place, no one woke anyone else in the night, that was perfect. Beautiful surroundings, the river (stream) behind the lodge was amazing. The children played there for hours. Plenty of seating spaces for meals and games. We would definitely recommend this place.

Rapid River Review
We had a wonderful vacation at Rapid River. The lodge is large, clean, well stocked and the environment is beautiful. Freshwater personnel were very helpful and kind. Not a complaint - just a suggestion: the lodge has many glass sliding doors - but many do not have screens or operate properly. It would be great to be able to open these and enjoy the breeze. I would certainly recommend the Lodge to any larger group - we were a multi-generation family of 11 - it was perfect.

Ammel Vacation 2019 Rapid River Lodge
Overall, the place was great and very accommodating! We were not sure what was included and we definitely over packed. Next time, we will know. We were very comfortable with plenty of room. The size of the kitchen was superb! Loved cooking and sitting everyone around the big table for a meal. The view was spectacular and the river was a lot of fun to go in. Very relaxing sitting on the back porch and listening to the water. We had a few issues with ants and moths in the 3rd bedroom. In addition, the bottom bunks in the third bedroom were not very comfortable (adults slept there). The 3rd bedroom is OK for kids but not adults, plus there were no closets/dressers for clothing. We had 6 in the room and bags/suit cases everywhere! That was hard, but we managed. We attempted to use the sleeper sofa in the living room area, but the mattress was nasty. We had two kids end of sleeping on the couches since the bedroom had ants on the ceiling.
